Foreign Language

The language teachers introduce French and Spanish to all our early childhood students, teaching them French for one semester and Spanish for the other. They are introduced to basic conversation skills, music and vocabulary centered on numbers, colors, parts of the body, articles of clothing, etc. First graders and their families choose either French or Spanish, which they will continue to study through sixth grade. The frequency of foreign language study increases from once a week to three times a week as the children move up in the Elementary program.
